hi!! I don't know if this will make sense (sorry!) but do you think it's better if your undergraduate school & vet school are the same, or do you think it's better/doesn't really matter if they're different? I'm asking to help me look at unis. Thank you!!
I’m sorry, I have no idea what school application looks like in other countries! In Poland, all you have to do to get into vet school is take advanced matura exam (matura is an exam every student is needs to take at the end on high school. You choose which subjects and on which level you want to take in order to get to the school of your choice) in biology and chemistry and you just send an application form you can find on this special website. We don’t have any interviews, we don’t write any letters of application, nothing. So I guess it’s easier for us. But of course, there’s a point limit you have to meet to get in.
We don’t have to get a bachelor’s degree to get into vet school here, we apply straight out of high school. Of course, you can go to undergrad school before going to vet school, but you still need to have enough points from matura to get in, they don’t really care what you were doing before that.
Though, I'd imagine that if you did your undergrad in something vet-related or connected with animal studies in any way, it would be much easier for you in vet school later. You would surely learn anatomy, probably some histology and physiology, maybe nutrition, and that’s already a lot!
I’m really sorry I can’t be of much help! Good luck anyway! xo
Can anyone give anon some more advice on this? I‘m sure a lot of y’all had to choose an undergrad school before vet school
